Research

The Mechanical Engineering Department is very active in a number of research areas. These areas include advanced materials and plasmas, biomedical engineering, energy and environment, motorsport engineering, and systems engineering.

Research laboratories in each of these areas are available for undergraduate and graduate students to build devices, perform experiments, and develop and refine prototypes.

The Department is home to two CSU programs of Research and Scholarly Excellence - the Engines and Energy Conversion Laboratory and the Orthopaedic Bioengineering Research Laboratory.
